The Master of Science in Media Management degree exists to enhance one’s ability to function and lead in today’s ever changing media environment by providing individuals sound management skills and philosophies so they can play a lead role in tomorrow’s media with integrity, innovation, excellence and professionalism. Unlike the MSMC degrees, the MSMM degree does not require the individual courses COMS 6203 - Introduction to Communication Studies  or MDIA 6283 - Qualitative Research Methods  as part of one’s college core. Instead portions of those courses will be interwoven into other course offerings. This degree prepares students for opportunities in organizational and strategic communication, broadcasting, journalism and new technologies.
